I learned thanks to you

When you turned around, you said good bye
no words from your mouth did coincide
that grey afternoon that never did rain
I leared thanks to you the meaning of pain.

You didn't come back, although I still waited
for your sure return as hope slowly faded,
one night your love left my heart so bluntly
I learned thanks to you the meaning of lonely.

And there was a space that remained intact
'til one day new light fell from above,
with no one to blame I know for a fact
I learned thanks to you the meaning of love.

I no longer care nor can I recall
when you walked away under the wind chime,
I'm thankful to life and to you above all
for teaching me well the meaning of time.
